Jazzing Up Store-Bought Tomato Sauce

Luke and I have always made our own pasta sauce from diced tomatoes, tomato paste etc. Until this fall when our local grocery store put a premium brand of sauce on super-sale. When we crunched the numbers, it was less expensive to buy the bottled sauce than make our own. But we still like to "personalize" it. This is what we did for lunch today:
saute a chopped onion in olive oil until super soft
add a carton of sliced mushrooms, saute until onions are almost caramelized
add 3 cloves minced garlic, saute for a few minutes
Dump in the tomato sauce, heat until warm, and adjust seasonings as desired.
